NDA 2020 is a consolidated examination for both the exams of NDA 1 2020 and NDA 2 2020. It was formerly very tough to analyse how the question paper would be since both the papers of the year are going to be conducted on the same day and situation was unpredictable. Owing to our dilemmas, the question paper was really unpredictably different, comparatively easy and at times, tricky.
The question paper of NDA 2020, which was the most awaited one, has its own advantages and its own levels of difficulty. While most of the students who attempted the paper have exclaimed that the paper was comparatively easy when related to the previous years, some mention that the paper was tricky. On the whole, regarding the General Ability Test (GAT) section, excluding the English part, we give you the detailed analysis of the Part – B of Paper II here. We have given the subjects that were included, the number of questions in each subject and the level of difficulty of these. A detailed subject wise solution key along with the explanation is provided from our side which will be kept for your reference soon.
